I USED to work for McDonnell Douglas on the C-17 project. I was in the FUSELAGE build area(the main fuselage, in a normal plane where passengers sit) the FLOOR is 70 FEET long, plus all related parts that are required. I was on that program for over 10yrs. It was the BUSIEST wildest time that i have ever had. Would do it again.
Thanks to you and to the engineers and mechanics who provide maintenance and upkeep to ensure everyone's safety and comfort.
I joined the AF at 18 right after high school. Spent 56 weeks in tech school after basic. People simply have no idea how much responsibility a young 18 or 19 year old on the military has. They deserve your respect.
Truth! at 17 my boy was maintaining the avionics on F16!
,, fthemilitary,, where are they now when they are needed? All jibbie jabbied and gone cukoo working for the wrong side
For those wondering, built aircraft tires are considered a repairable item in the military, which is why you see the orange tags on them. Those tags are Ready For Issue tags, or RFI tags for short.
They are built up from wheel halves, left and right, and the rubber tire, plus the bolts that hold the wheel halves together. Most of the time those bolts are one time use only. I worked with tires a lot over my 20 year Navy career, either storing the rubber, or ordering them for the squadron I was assigned to. AFAIK military tires are inflated with nitrogen, not air, because nitrogen doesn't expand & contract like standard air does. Also, tire pressures are higher when the aircraft are flying from aircraft carriers, because they take a lot more abuse. My EA-6B squadron would inflate the mains to 250 psi for flying off a carrier, and only used 50 psi on shore.
Almost all tires in aviation get rebuilt...the rim's are NDT'ed, the tire is retreaded, etc....
👍
I sold tires including automotive, truck and small aircraft tires as a young man. What impressed me about the aircraft tires were the fit and finish and how stiff they were. The little tires were still 10,12 or 14 ply. I'm sure technology marched on since I did this almost 50 years ago.
It is a fascinating job.

That is crazy wild how the different teams work on the tires. Repairing/retreading a tire is pretty wild too. Too bad that they dont do that to car and truck tires any more. They can use the aircraft tire retread program on those tires and make them stronger.
British Airways.... the safest and most professional airline in the world 🏴🇬🇧
The music on this particular video is awesome!
The Afghan Skydiving team could have changed these during flight back in 2021.
The Hawaiian Pakistani sumo dayspar club could do it middair in 80s. Aloha awakabah
It is rewarding job. But use the right equipment to move them.
Very nice video, good luck A very great
Yeah, that worked well on the Concord.
Props to the maintenance crews! It’s a tiring Job and high-pressure! 😁 it can be deflating at times, so it’s good to be well-rounded.
Lol
Our world is consider to be controtrolled by just precise sizing numbers...
Thank you very much
You are doing good
Imagine: On one tire is a weight up to more than 20 tons! This is an impressive amount of weight!
Tire weigh "80 to 100lbs each". See 5.14 minutes in video.
@@chrisl4338 I guess you got me wrong.. (might be due to my bad English)
I meant a tire must carry a load of up to 20 tons or more.
Hypnotic?
Not sure airlines mandatorily remove tyres every 250 flights. Tyres are On-Condition items, not hard time components. Besides, tyres (& their service conditions) vary and many won't give up to 250 landings...
The actual replacing the tire onto the rim is a nother job in itself. That unfortunatly they dont show in this vedio. Splitting the wheel and Having the rim cleaned and inspected X rayed for cracks Then mounting the new tire and testing in a safety cage.
There is of course a significant difference between a tire (on its own) and a tire, as mounted on a wheel, to be fitted to an airplane; yet the same word is used in the video.
Keep it up
We love watching the very informative videos, keep'em coming!
Super
Now I recommend People To Use Those Tiers For Body building
All love your videos
interesting but as with a lot of Flucus videos too superficial
expensive kids toys Sir
0.12 v22 osprey is a helipcopter ? i never knew that
Can’t fly without Supply!!
Terbaik
N ada nuevo. Querés trabajar?
It is not understood as to why weight is measured in pounds instead of Kgs. Or tonnes.
and NASCAR can chew up a set of tires in minutes..
7:15 - that's one big dude. Civilian. no?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They didn't show the most important step.... deflating the tire first
No más speack no produce
Barato recapado no devo yo
Interesting to see this level of maintenance by an Air Force. Their safety standards usually aren't up to those of Civil Aviation...
“Other types of landing gear types” 0:27 🙄
Okay

US airforce how to handbag a job 101

❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Spent 24 years as a USAF C-130 Crew Chief and changed tons of tires around the world... Main choice of install was seat rods...
Being tits lexit I was confused Tires not Tyres English British spelling as the pneumatic tyre was patented by a Scots man 1845 .Does this mean the average American tyres (not tires) at the end of the day?
merssi
So much BS before starting with what was titled
We need more women in This department to change tires. To maintain full Equality.
I agree if equality is needed then bring it in everything
Not many Women want the job, they want equality only when it suits them.
@@goldslinger We need some rules specially for feminists, a quota for them and it will compulsory for them to do labourous jobs. They need to experience true equality.
Lol you guys have issues if you just blatantly hate women. Your moms need to have conversations with you. This is coming from a guy
@@Xecnalxes nah its just facts
Yeah, everybody loves tires. They're round and bouncy, like big rubber donuts. What else is new? ...
Robaron si vi
Can you add metric numbers
In please, were not all american.
Designed by a man with a Doctorate degree, flown by a man with a Bachelors degree and maintained by a man with a high school diploma.....okay....
